break dancing

Over at Opening Ceremony’s blog, Spike Jonze posted this video he recorded of famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma accompanying this kid, Lil Buck smoothily dancing at a “bring the arts to schools” event. Natalie Portman doesn’t have anything on this dancer. Finger snaps to whoever had these two artists’ names in their Rolodex. [Via]

Metafilter shared this amazing video from the time capsule. Recorded way back on December 10, 1991 according the video time stamp, watch a group of Iranian guys step up at what appears to be a wedding, doing their (rather impressive) b-boy thing with popping and locking toprock moves to downrock steps, with some power moves thrown in for good measure. Check out the guy in crutches around the 4:45 mark.
